GEAR: IQ Smart Charge Control Modules by IOTA Engineering

IOTA Engineering (iotaengineering.com) offers six new “smart” charge control modules to be used with its DLS (Dual-State, Line-Load Control, and Switch-Mode) battery chargers. Different modules are compatible with different battery types or needs—the IQ-LiFePO is suitable for use with lithium iron phosphate batteries; the IQ-AGM and IQ-Gel are designed for absorbed glass mat and gel batteries, respectively. The IQ-Turbo provides rapid charging, the IQ-Equalizer is for equalizing batteries, and the IQ-40hour is for extended bulk charging. These devices connect to the battery charger through a phone-jack-style port. They automatically adjust voltage and current settings for specific battery type or function.
